In farming simulation games such as Stardew Valley and Story of Seasons, players are given the chance to become farmers living in idyllic rural settings. These games share a similar narrative premise: leaving the city behind, inheriting a family farm, and beginning a new life. What the player first encounters is usually a long-abandoned plot of land overrun with weeds, rocks, and dead trees. The core experience of these games lies in gradually clearing the neglected farm, cultivating the soil, planting crops, tending livestock, and ultimately enjoying the rewards of steady daily labor. Along the way, interactions with the townspeople offer moments of warmth and community.
